Ah, the trailer location of this place takes me back to my portable days of elementary school! No hate on that, just quirky. I'm not sure if the grass is really good in Solana Beach but it must be based on the prices at St. James. $100 for a jacket and $200 for a ski seat.....at a thrift store? No thank you. We perused for a little bit and then about 10 mins in, the volunteers told us about the specials of the day but really, they weren't that special. I finally found a dollar rack (holla!) and walked away with an Athlete jacket (why is Athlete on the dollar rack??) and a book for $3. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

This was our first visit since this thrift shop moved from its Academy Drive location, where we had been customers and loyal donors for two decades. I must say that we were disappointed. The shop is now in a trailer next to St. Leo Mission. Interior is tight with very narrow aisles and some merchandise piled in boxes on the floor. Prices are generally higher than other thrift stores in the area. The one volunteer we encountered was very nice and helpful. Parking lot has a single access from Ida Avenue with a large hump on which we bottomed out leaving.

On the good side, the people are really nice and the store is well organized. On the downside, holy cow are they expensive.

Extremely high prices on all items. I normally don't complain but a huge disappointment.

This is by far my favorite thrift shop! An eclectic mix of everything - practical household goods, clothing from basic to designer fashion, vintage jewelry, etc. And such awesome people working there too. It's always fun to stop in and see what they have for sale. I have found much of what I treasure most there - this shop is an absolute gem! UPDATE - MOVED TO NEW LOCATION around the bend .... at the corner of Ida Ave & Genevieve St .... new address: 936 Genevieve St Solana Beach CA 92075

Saints Thrift ShopJust wanted to shout out to Casey that manages the Saint’s Thrift Shop in Solana Beach.You have elevated the shop to what I consider the Nordstrom’s of Thrift Stores. The selection is amazing. High quality style & elegance are abundant throughout the small space. There are constantly new items to browse great finds to be had every visit. Casey is so helpful and knowledgeable, and the volunteers are great as well. By far the best of the best for quality, style, and value.

I assumed Thrift shop meant used goods for cheaper prices...the shirts I saw were more expensive than brand new! Used shoes for $50+ dollars. Insane

Where can you go to a thrift store and pay higher than retail? St James it is! 80 bucks for a Robert Graham shirt, 90 bucks for a guitar hero guitar with a duct taped battery cover, 30 bucks for a used Simpsons season DVD set, used DVDs for 6 bucks, 10 bucks for a used old navy shirt! Seemed to be a sewing circle with the women working there. Robbing the poor to line the pockets of their church, Jesus would be ashamed! You'd be better served buying at full retail than spend any money here. Complete waste of time, I'd be surprised if they sold anything at all. What a joke.
